So instant skills are not going off instantly - working as intended (why this then?)

[Nenin]

I am a little confused... are people complaining that their instance skills are not going off? or they are complaining that their instant skills, which went off instantly, are preventing the use of another skill for a few seconds?

The complaint is that currently any skill listed as 'off the gcd' will NOT fire when used off the GCD until your current attack animation ends.

This often results in having to hit a supposedly instant, off the GCD ability, 5+ times before it actually fires. From what I understand this was intentional but it seems like an arbitrary and unnecessary restriction.
